Total Distance
16.00

AM - ~5 mile w/u, 8 x 200m w/ 200m jog rec in anywhere from 60 to 90 seconds. ran 28.9 on the first one, 30.3-30.9 on the next 6 and 31.5 on the last one. c/d for 10

that last repeat probably would have been another high 28, but the last ~40m the lactic acid finally overtook me to the point where i was reduced to jogging the final few meters. short rest is no joke; faster than i thought i'd run though. pretty sure the ankle is fine so should hit weights after my nap. found a loop on the warmup i might try for my next long run 

PM - weights

PM2 - 6 miles, 6:25 pace. ran the first 2 miles in 12:30 because i felt great then eased up a bit. feel like i'm gonna make a big breakthrough when i bother to be consistent with my mileage lol. at least i'm on the ball on workout days.

look who's talking! :)

how have you been Eva? not going to send you on a guilt-trip for not blogging in months but what's up? if you're taking a break from running or just don't have the time to blog i've been there; just hoping you aren't injured.

Sorry for not blogging recently.

I have been in HELL with COVID-19!!

I am just getting back into running.

I ran a 5K time trial on Monday this week.

I gave it everything I had and only was able to manage 37:27. When I run my chest hurts and my heart feels like it is going to explode. My heart rate went up to around 180 and even after I stopped, it stayed at that rate for a long time.

I have been negative for the virus now for a month, but I still have problems when running. The doctor says I have no apparent problems, but I am still not in 100% condition.

I am getting discouraged. I don't know if I will ever be able to really run again. In my time trial I did probably more walking than running.

Eugene, make sure you always wear a mask, and stay away from people as much as you can.

i'm sorry to hear that Eva. if you're anything like me not being active drives you crazy and you'll try to get back out there as soon as you think there's a chance you can, but please play it safe and recover as much as your body needs

not to brag, but i took a year off from running and came back and by the end of the year was running 45-mile days and 200-mile weeks. after that i basically took 3 more months off and now i'm in even better shape than i was then. point being, at our age, you can still climb back up that mountain even if you have to start from the base.

i'll keep your wellbeing in my thoughts. keep me updated!
